I just used acrylic and ask the GF for a 3D engrave on the U.S. Navy logo. It turned out great when placed over the Medium Blue Acrylic for the background. Thank you for your service to our great nation robermar36!!!

Oh, I reversed the image for the best effect on the clear acrylic when placed on top of the blue acrylic. I love this Glowforge!!

I agree. Most people got the GF to make money (me included) and they see giving stuff away as losing possible profit. Sharing my files doesn’t cost me anything. I would just hope that if people are using my files for profit (or just general use) that they send some credit my way. I enjoy creating new fun things and feel like I’m only scratching the surface on what I can do. Coming up with ideas is the tough part.

First of all, Thank you sooo much for sharing your file! I’ve only had my gf for a few weeks, and am very anxious to make anything and everything! I will be making a bowl out of pg wood, but what do you think about making one out of acrylic, would it work the same? I don’t want to waste materials so I thought I’d ask what you thought first.
Thanks again!!
Acrylic works fine.
It’s referred to above.
This topic has a long discussion about generating such a pattern.

My advice, just play with it. You’re gonna have to go through a lot of material to get the hang of things. Some will be wasted, some won’t. The more you do the better you’ll get. I love working on files. If you need help, feel free to hang out in our discord (linked in original post) and ask questions. I’m happy to help you tweak your files.

I was looking around the internet and saw one of these in an oval shape. I’m intrigued. It’s going to have it’s own set of difficulties because you cant just turn it back and forth. I’m going to attempt this live tonight (10pm PST) if you wanted to come check it out, maybe pick my brain, give your insights; should be fun. Twitch link is in original post above.

so very new to this. question I just cut out your bowl design and they are all cut into their own circle. is this right ? so do I cut each piece together to make the bowl ?
thank you
You cut the file as one piece where it lays completely flat. With the circle bowl, you take each segment one at a time, lift it up, and rotate it slightly so that it sits on the piece below. Hard to explain in words.
I used proof grade and then wood glue. Didn’t find I needed to sand.
I tried to download but all I got was the jpg picture. I am new to GF but would love to try this basket. Advice please. email is keithdaniels@tampabay.rr.com
You should just be able to right click on the file and save as. The white file with the black lines. There are two up there so just make sure you’re saving the right one.
I don’t see the file. I’m new to glowforge. I don’t see how you get to cutting this bowl out
Under the image there is another smaller image with white background and lines. Just right click on that and save image as. Then you should be good to go!

Awsome, thanks Brother!!! Everything is so confusing and overwhelming, just got my GF Pro yesterday
Feel free to ask me any questions. I’m here to help. I’m usually much quicker to respond in Discord. I can send you a link if you’re ever on there. I love just making files, I don’t even sell products anymore.
